There's a wonderful thing that happens when a band steps
out from the shadows of their influences and confidently asserts their own
sound, their own thoughts and their own reason for being - people listen and
take note. And so it is for Brisbane's Grand Atlantic - a coming of age, a
sublime arrival, a statement of intent that brooks no argument. Those shadows
of The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Big Star chase each other around some
of the most sublimely-crafted pop music you'll ever hear .
